[freeside] Not (RADIATOR | ICRADIUS)

[Dana Hudes]

Thanks for the information. I already found gnu-radius. It failed to compile one of its pieces. I reported the bug, we'll see.
Looking it over doesn't seem it supports SQL auth just accounting but am not sure -- and I haven't time to dig into broken software.

I'm rebuilding mysql , its taking quite a long time.

At this time I am aware of:
*ICRADIUS -- requires mysql or a real good hack job to rewrite to anything else
*Cistron - no SQL support
*RADIATOR - requires mysql. I was not impressed to pay money.
*IEA RadiusX - had problems (and considering its targeted to linux its weird that its just a tarball, no RPM).
*xtradius connects to postgresql or mysql.  I think there was some issue about the RADIUS profile support, but it looked good. Will it work with Freeside is the problem.
*YARD - no sql support
*Livingston -- no sql support
*Steel Belted RADIUS -- no Linux, only Solaris or NT.  Very expensive ($4000 for the first component, $995/year maintenance).  When I was working on AGIS nationwide 60,000 port rollout 
there was no problem to spend money for stuff like this, but when one is working on a ISP with 1200 customers growing to 4000, that's a big chunk of change.
